Signs You're Finally Becoming A Grown Up

So you're a student, but your learning the ways of the world. No longer have you to put up with being grounded, no pocket money, being sent to your room. Responsibility is only around the corner and boy will it hit you with a bang; taxes, bills, marriage, kids....has your head nearly exploded? I thought so. Best to take it step by step. Here's a start anyway, signs you're finally becoming a grown up.

1. FAT PANTS...you are aware of the glory of fat pants which come out whenever you are watching

2. You shake your head and tut

at the sight of people in their late teens who are making the same life mistakes you did, but you don't say anything because..."they have to learn".

3. You can no longer do 4+ consecutive nights on the piss

4. You notice your parents are slowly but surely are cutting you off.

Not like full on "we've cut up your credit card" but you no longer appear on the health insurance or they've made an "office" out of your bedroom.

5. You realise that other people may have had a point with their favourite things and that your taste was only grounded in not liking anyone else's.

6. You know who the majority of the ministers of state are...

7. You finally appreciate how much effort...

and money it took for you parents to keep the fridge stocked when you were younger as you stare at your own fridge that contains two cans of Dutch gold and a yoghurt.
